Textured veggie protein is even cheaper and is dehydrated if you want a veggie option. It’s great to camp with since it needs no refrigeration, and you can add it to beef dishes if you need to stretch your dollar but still want real beef.
Tvp is great. Spice it right and u can fool the shit out of your carnivore uncle if it’s in hamburger helper style meals
Lmao sounds like personal experience. I like being upfront with people, but otoh if you’re broke, guests can’t be choosy. Was it actually hamberder helper or what, how’d it turn out?
E: I’m leaving it, no edits.
We had it back when I was at camp cuz it packed out on the trail well. Mouth wise it’s basically funny tasting “ground beef” which is why u spice it like hell cuz it’s bland.
I’m just saying if u cook it right u can fool pretty much anyone.
